Default PDAGold's First 60 Minutes With HP iPAQ h6300

http://www.pdagold.com/articles/detail.asp?a=157

"I am strongly against preferential treatment but there are situations when I cannot resist seeking some unfair favours Considering the desired object is called 'first HP iPAQ h6300', I threw away all moral restraints and set off for a long journey with my sight set on the much-awaited gadget. I can say with a clear conscience that the effort has paid off. Here, I sum up my first impressions."

Pavel's referring to the fact that he's written a preview, not a review, and as such realizes that he can't give a final conclusion on this preproduction device. Nevertheless, I think this picture sums up his opinion on the unit. :lol:



The few "previews" coming out this week suggest there's a lot to like about the unit. I hope we can get our hands on it soon -- and preordering it from Tek 'N' Toys might be one way to do just that. [Affiliate]

That's subjective... I don't find it nearly as ugly as you do.

In the era of 628-MHz processors, a 200-MHz processor seems insufficient. IT IS NOT! I tried a few games, both 2-D scrolling shooters and 3-D games, and there was not the slightest difference. The device handles other types of tasks smooth and fast, without any delays in response.

I don't know, we'll see about that. The lack of VGA is what really kills me. There is always something missing. :wink:

If it is running at 200 mhz, is it using the TI Omap processor?

Before discounting this processor as being inadequate, are there any reviews of how this new processor compares to the faster ones in place in other Pocket PC's?

I ask because my Centrino processor in my notebook has a much slower speed than my partners P4, but it blows his notebook away in performance and battery life.

Could the TI Omap processor be like the Centrino processor offering a superior design and therefor similar or superior performance?

Yep.

Not yet, as the device hasn't been released.

Absolutely - but we'll have to wait until release to figure out the exact performance metrics.
